It works great as long as keep-alive is in effect.  The Slashdot redirect
has "Connection: close" in the headers--that makes it fail as I described.
I've done lots of testing and turning keep-alive off (either in the site's
response headers or by setting url-http-attempt-keepalives to nil) is the
only way I can make your fix fail.

I'll keep poking around and see if I can figure out why that is the case.
Feel free to beat me to it! :)
